"But even the bad law requires "clear and convincing" evidence that she wanted to be killed, not flimsy and conveniently-recently-remembered evidence."

The judges who reviewed the case, and there were many, found the proof offered to be clear and convincing, and that Terri wished not to be maintained alive via artificial means, the fact that you don't find the evidence and testimony to be clear and evident proof is irrelevant; you weren't the sitting Judge.

Terri didn't want to "be killed", she did not want to be kept alive via artificial means, and wanted to be allowed to die.

"Food is not "medical treatment" and Terri Schiavo never "refused" anything"

According to Florida law it is, what part of that do you not understand?

"Michael Schiavo is your god?"

Another a$$hole comment from yet another nutjob.

They found Greer followed correct procedure in reaching this 'finding of fact'. not the same thing.

Anyway, if there are judges who think that proof was clear and convincing, they are morons and I'd love nothing more than to tell that to their face.

the fact that you don't find the evidence and testimony to be clear and evident proof is irrelevant; you weren't the sitting Judge.

You're right, it is irrelevant. The woman was killed, after all.

The fact that I think OJ is guilty was irrelevant. The fact that I think Elian Gonzalez should not have been seized was irrelevant. And, so on.

Terri didn't want to "be killed", she did not want to be kept alive via artificial means, and wanted to be allowed to die.

You don't know that.

And food is not "artificial means" anyway.

["Food is not "medical treatment" and Terri Schiavo never "refused" anything"] According to Florida law it is, what part of that do you not understand?

I understand it fine. Florida law is an ass on that subject. Words mean things. If Florida law said 2+2 = 5 that would not make it so.

The fact remains that food is not "medical treatment".

["Michael Schiavo is your god?"] Another a$$hole comment from yet another nutjob.

Class, Luis. Pure class you are. Your debating skills are just astounding.

The only reason the woman is dead is because Michael Schiavo wanted her to be. You somehow brought "God's will" into the equation (surprising, for someone who claims to only care about the law!). I simply connected the dots.

FOOD AND WATER WAS NOT MEDICAL TREATMENT WHEN TERRI "supposedly" SAID SHE DIDN't WANT LIFE SUPPORT!

You can't change the definiton of a word 15 years later and expect the intention of the original statement to still be "CLEAR AND CONVINCING!" Good Grief!

15 years ago, I said I want to get married- so today- does that mean I am gay?

SHEESHK!
